VIKING mania will hit a York pub next weekend when it holds a day of festivities to celebrate the city's former rulers.
The Bay Horse, in Fulford, will join in next week's Jorvik Viking Festival by putting on a host of activities for its regulars.
A Viking and Saxon warrior will set off from the pub at 3.30pm on Saturday, February 16, to give a 90-minute guided tour of the 1066 battlefield of Fulford.
They will then return to the pub at 5pm to tuck into a Viking feast of stew and hog roast with the pub's customers. Children will get the chance to quiz the Viking visitors about weapons and armour and there will also be a fighting demonstration at the pub. The day will go out with a bang with a firework display at 7pm.
